This document describes a mechanism to model a broadcast network as a
hybrid of broadcast and point-to-multipoint networks for purposes of
OSPF operation. Neighbor discovery and maintenance as well as LSA
database synchronization are performed using the broadcast model, but
the network is represented using the point-to-multipoint model in the
router LSAs of the routers connected to it. This allows an accurate
representation of the cost of communication between different routers
on the network, while maintaining the network efficiency of broadcast
operation. This approach is relatively simple and requires minimal
changes to OSPF.
